Two Texas Republicans, Reps. August Pfluger and Michael McCaul, are seeking answers from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) about how the agency screens critical minerals imported from China.

The Republicans sent a letter, obtained by Breitbart News, to CBP Commissioner Chris Magnus on Friday demanding he lay out how the imports are screened to prevent United States importation of critical minerals produced by way of Chinese forced labor.

“Due to the importance of critical minerals to such a broad range of applications, the Chinese Communist Party leadership has long made dominating the supply chain a priority,” Pfluger and McCaul began their letter.
